Hi, I'm Joclyn Rae
Wedding & senior photographer in ankeny, iA and beyond
 
I’m drawn to the moments that often go unnoticed—the gentle touches, genuine laughter, and the emotions that tell the story beyond the pose. My approach blends thoughtful direction with authentic connection, allowing you to feel comfortable enough to simply be yourselves. The result is a gallery that feels elevated yet honest, filled with images that reflect not only how your day looked, but how it truly felt. Because years from now, I want your photographs to bring you right back to that moment.

Let's connect
 
Every story begins with a simple hello. I’d love to hear about the moments that matter most to you and create imagery that preserves the feelings behind them.
Let’s create something timeless together.
